CECT Ankle Joints

Test Description

The Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) of the ankle joint is an imaging procedure where a contrast dye is injected into the body and X-ray beams are used to create a detailed three dimensional image of the ankle joint which is used to assess any injury or other disorders of the ankle joint.

Why Get Tested

To detect fractures of the bones of the ankle joint not visible on a simple X-ray

To detect the cause of any unexplained pain in the ankle joint

To detect any infection, injury or inflammation of the soft tissues like the muscle, the tendons and ligaments of the ankle joint

To diagnose any suspected infection, osteoporosis, deformities or abnormal growth of the bones and arthritis (inflammation of the joints)

Precautions

Pregnant women should inform their doctor (and x-ray technician) as the radiations may affect the fetus. If needed, precautions can be taken to lower the radiation exposure to the fetus.

Depending on the area to be imaged, you may be asked to wear a hospital gown at the time of the X-ray.
